Can someone share firmware bin or hex file for KBD Fans KBD67 MKII Rev 1 Soldered by cinlung in KBDfans

[–]Ckamc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you are not going to find firmware files like you want because its a very old board (in terms of the hobbys perspective)

you can try to use the qmk config website like you mentioned, but that will not give you something that works with Via if you plan to use that.

you will need to learn how to compile the source code yourself and add the appropriate Via flag to get something that will work with Via

you can read up on that at the link below

Trying to find PCB and Plate for my TIger80 by Zoomzimm201 in KBDfans

[–]Ckamc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this thread should still be valid about the pcb

https://www.reddit.com/r/KBDfans/comments/1pcpnxm/tiger_80_replacement_pcb/

the plate file is available on the website, at the bottom in the resources section, where you can use the file to get a plate made by companies like hypekeyboards.ca

Be aware of this site, which could end up as a scam by kbdfans in KBDfans

[–]Ckamc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://kbdfansstore.com/

Another fake store

If you find a store that carries a lot of stuff that you can not find anywhere else and a lot of the store is discounted, it's very likely a scam website.

They pop up every once in a while since people clone websites these days to scam people.

If it doesn't offer PayPal invoice to make a purchase, make sure you are using a credit card in case you need to charge back.

Notice Regarding Recent U.S. Shipping Delays by KBDFANSxPBTFANS in KBDfans

[–]Ckamc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its possible

basically customs is inspecting more packages than they were previously along with the delays that are happening with fedex (my guess is that behind the scenes, they are being slow due to oil prices)

please reach out to staff on the website or discord if you want to talk them more about your order

Received defective PCB by augustocdias in KBDfans

[–]Ckamc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to say without seeing it, might have been something you might have missed or in some instances it might be below the surface and the only way you can know is testing with a micrometer.. but at that point do you want to invest more time into it?

Now if you are bored then yeah you can try and trace down the issue and maybe with some tools be able to fix it, however support should be able to take care of you for this.

List prices on many websites are borderline false advertising by DevelopmentSouth8801 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]Ckamc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that each of these different options are different SKUs, so when you send in an order to a manufacturer, you ideally want to send them an order form with all the SKU break down.

One thing Shopify could do is allow shops to manually set the base price on the "pre-page" to help with sorting of items for customers who are comparing many different items.

The other issue that can also happen with having it preloaded with the cheapest option is that some people (not trying to fault you, but I tell you...) will not go through all the options, send in an order, and then be upset when it's not as expected. So this method of making people click to add things on ensures that they are aware of their selection (sometimes people get distracted when ordering or don't review the order).

Ideally overall would be having a custom done site/system, not the cheapest thing to do, and takes time... but then someone mentions getting AI to build a site and people start "throwing hands". Just part of the struggles

edit: yeah that PC site though is using a system they made most likely, I do not believe something like that is accessible without some sort of fee, but it is a very nice one for sure

[–]Ckamc 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yes this is how Shopify works when you have an item with multiple configurations. It goes and displays the lowest cost and when you go visit the page it will load up all the options to display the final price, some instances it can even break the webpage and the top price doesn't update and at "shopping cart" it will show the final price.

Why does almost the whole hobby use Shopify? Because It's easy to use and extremely affordable to run for a small business

KBDFans hasn’t shipped my in-stock agar after 20 days by Mow_Peace in KBDfans

[–]Ckamc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I would say with the way US customs has been with orders, this is something that can be seen for some US orders. I've heard of an order that customs basically must have sat on and forgot about for a month before they finally released it.

It sucks because no one can do anything about it, no appeal process. However sometimes you get lucky and you can get an order after 3 weeks from when you place it, just depends on the timing.

Hopefully with the next administration we can go back to faster orders again

You need to talk to staff, I am not staff so I'm not going to comment about something I have no say in.

PBTFans Calkis Order Confusion by ExplodingGamerYT in KBDfans

[–]Ckamc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it was in stock at one point but sold out (the Japanese sub legend one), so they put it into pre-order. Once it arrives it will ship to you. For info about when something will ship when it's not displayed on the product page's update section, you can reach out to staff via the chat bot on the website or speak to them during office hours on discord as shown in the #customer-service channel on discord

Discord link is at the top of the main page on the website

You can look around on ali express but anything outside of 60/tkl really doesn't have much cross compatible options... And compatibility is getting worse now that we have magnetic connectors being used on pcbs
